The data they present indicates that the blackout had a severe regional impact. I see nothing that shows that there was a significant global impact (meaning that I can't get data from AS 12374 to AS 553, for example).
That's correct. In fact, our data showed that it clearly did _not_ have global impact. (Compare with various worm events, which do generally have global impact: http://www.renesys.com/projects/bgp_instability/in dex.html cod red ii and nimda report)
The WTC collapse probably had more impact on global routing (some large carriers had primary and backup equipment in both basements).
Actually, it did not. It did affect some regions outside the US that had trans-Atlantic connectivity straight into NYC, but otherwise it was geographically well localized. This report (PDF slides) compares it to Code Red and Nimda: http://www.renesys.com/projects/911/renesy s-030502 -NRC-911.pdf 9/11 report
